I use linux, and usually upgdate by simply unzipping the new zip in the SD card of the DR. However, this time it is not working.

When I unzip the latest.zip in the SD card nothing happens. If I connect the DR again to my computer, and then disconnect, I get a pop-up which says that a new firmware has beeen detected, do I want to reboot. When I say yes the screen goes black and stays black. After about 10 minutes, I reset the DR. The software version is 1.02 so, 1.5 is not installed.

I tried doing the same on a fresh SD card. I formatted the card, and unzipped the latest zip file in the card. Again a black screen and the reader is still at version 1.02.

Any suggestions on what else I can try?

Thanks
Adi
